Patty was recommended to me for my OVI after calling various attorneys and legal departments. As someone who has never been arrested before Patty was able to explain the whole process to me. She answered my various questions and explained my rights properly. She built a defense with information I pro...vided and was able to persuade the judge into giving me a lesser sentence.

I was charged with felonious assault and weapons while intoxicated. A gun spec. was also included. Patty was brought on by my primary attorney. Patty was very informative and understanding. Patty truly put me at ease every time I spoke to her. My trial started and the prosecution called 4 witnesses a...gainst me. After that the prosecution rested. Then on the following day Patty asked for a Rule 29 motion to the court. Her presentation blew me away with her confidence and statements. The prosecution made a poor choice in prosecuting me and Patty and my other Lawyer exploited it. Need less to say a few weeks later a decision was rendered by the Judge. CASE DISMISSED ON A RULE 29. I cannot say enough positive things about Patty's work ethic and professional knowledge of the law. Once again Patty THANK YOU for all your hard work. Your brief you wrote ,was absolutely right on. Hire Patty if you want to have your best opportunity for freedom. She is amazing.

My son was involved in an alcohol related incident in Ohio. (Basically a stupid college prank). Being from Western New York, I needed a local (Portage County) attorney to represent my immature 19 year old son. I found Patty Smith on line. Within 3 weeks, the entire matter was resolved and soon t...o be expunged from his record. She handled the case as if she were my son's aunt. I was more than satisfied with the results that Patty was able to acheive for my son. Anyone who says local knowledge does not mean anything is clearly misinformed. If I brought a New York attorney with me (that happened to be admitted in Ohio) down to Portage County, there is no way we would have had as positive an outcome as we did with Patty. I am absolutely sure of that. She is extreemly affective in representing youthful offenders. I strongly recommend Patty Smith.

very caring, very knowledgable about law, not afraid to use that knowledge in the court room is not imtimatated by anyone, was used as a public defender and did not keep the client in the dark always kept him informed about what was happening, always kept the family informed over and above what she w...as required. after the case was closed she kept the client informed of future information and laws, also the family. when we e-mailed or called her it was less then a day turn around, could stop at her office anytime to talk. know using her on an appeal.
